I have a life. In the US. I have children, grandchildren. I am a retired medical scientist, a Master Herbalist and an artist. I have two week to get rid of everything I own. What am I doing on a Sunday morning? Checking to see if you have uploaded your weekly video. Stopping everything when I see that you have, to watch it. No, I don’t need to get a life, I have one. And have had others. When you get older and feel you have given everything and anything work you offer now is a gift, you take the time to do what makes you happy. All of you, Nicky, Carlo, Tomaso, Skye are beautiful storytellers. I have become emotionally attached to each of you and wonder how you are. No, I am not crazy. Yes, I have friends. Good friends. I don’t collect people and object to people trying to collect me. I am perfectly okay. I just happen to enjoy a group of brilliant storytellers who are each smart and special and individual. Thank you for developing your channel in a way that offers me a warm hug, several smiles and the occasional belly laugh. You have a gift and you use it and share it with the world. God Bless You.
Hi "Friend" Carlo here, believe me if I tell you that your comment put a big smile on my face😁😁, for what you wrote, and also for how you wrote it, I can't explain it well, but I, sometimes I have a kind of vision, or rather I construct in my mind, like a scene from a film, something is told to me or even when I read something interesting, which piques my curiosity and imagination, and therefore I I imagined reading your comment someone like the scientist (Doc) "Christopher Lloyd" from the movie Back to the Future, who was writing me a very friendly letter, and it made me smile like never before in my life, I know it's really a ridiculously stupid thing to say, but that's the truth!! Thank you so much for writing this beautiful comment, very much appreciated!! 💕😘👋 I didn't understand the sentence; "I have two weeks to get rid of everything I own." I hope it's nothing to worry about!❤️
Heheh felt the same way here but me @ 50 is paving my way for retirement 😅 and yup it confuses me when u said “2 weeks to get rid of everything??” Hope there’s nothing sinister happened
Nothing sinister. It’s unfortunate to be elderly in this position but I find when I am placed in a tough situation that I am being pushed to be more. I spent 15 years of my 28 year marriage caring for my husband. He died a little over a year ago. I packed everything up, sold my house, paid off my debts and left. Spent a few months with my daughter before she moved to Portugal, spent a few months with my oldest grandson and relocated him back where the sun shines. Then went to my sons and took my other two grandchildren for the summer and we explored. Decided to get an apartment near them and discovered I had no credit. Pay off your bills and don’t carry and debt and your file gets wiped clean. My credit is Zero. I didn’t know that was possible. Can’t rent an apartment or buy a house, though I don’t want the maintenance of a house. The things I kept when I sold the house are in storage and the price changes constantly. Without a home, the stuff has to go. So am trying to get rid of everything before January 1st so that I don’t have to pay them for another increase. Not sinister, but certainly a hole in the system. I have a shuttle bus that I used to take husband to doctors and clinics and I will use that as a home and travel. Most are things that should pass down but the kids don’t want it. They will be angry later, as will THEIR children but this is what they have decided. :::shrug::: if I get someone who can help me build it, this could be a gift! I mentioned it NOT for sympathy or attention but to underscore the fact that there were things I SHOULD be doing but I chose to watch the video first. Because Nicky, Carlo, Thomas and Skye make me smile. And I watch them because I can and because I want to. So I did, and I do.
So nice to see Tomaso ( sorry if I spelled it wrong) and please tell him he did a great job in English! Lovely, of course, to have Skye narrate and see them both spending special time with Carlo. Enjoyed it all
OMG the walk that took all day. Why have you not learned to stop following Fabrizio into the wilds? You are a brave girl to climb so high up. When you finally got to the flat plato I see the car up there and I think "Run now and hitch a ride." lol The view up there was out of this world. You could see forever. Amazing walk.
Carlo, Thank you for taking time out of your family trip to show us some wonderful sites of Greece and the delicious looking food. Nickie, You were a good sport and very brave to keep going on that spontaneous and precarious hike. What beautiful vistas for your reward. Glad you had a chance to rest the next day.
Wow, that was quite a hike! The views were stunning. Thanks for taking us along and also thanks for the trip to Athens! Beautiful city and the view from Poseidon's temple was breathtaking.
Thanks to Carlo, Skye, and Tomaso for sharing your family trip. Skye's accent always catches me off guard because she almost sounds American when I'm expecting Italian or British. A few words have a bit of a British accent, but you can really tell she grew up with an international influence.
Great shots of Greece! Please let Sky know her voice over narration is soothing to the ear :0). It was great to see Thomaso again. :0) Thank you for sharing this father and his kids vlog! Your shots great as always. Thank you and happy Sunday!
Wonderful episode, so much to see! Funny that my favourite part was the geese talking to Tomasso! 😄 Athens looks amazing!!! I can't believe you are still doing new hikes near your home, it's an incredible "backyard"!!! ❤
Way to push through on that long, unexpected hike! So glad you were able to capture some of it on your phone. I don't blame you one bit for taking it easy the next day. You earned it!
This was a beautiful video! That hike! You are so brave to be able to walk along side a mountain with no railings or fences! I could never do that! The views were absolutely breathtaking! I can only imagine how it must be to see it in person! ❤️
Nicki, I just want to say thank you for last week's post where you were so honest about the holidays....I lost my parents at 16 and life changed in an instant. Nothing was ever "the same." When I had my son, of course, I always tried to make holidays the best for him .... but there's always that little spot in your heart that never quite heals & I feel it during the holidays. Bravo for being brave enough to talk about it! And good for you, I, too, love my peace & quiet when I can do whatever I want!
Hi Carlo here, thank you, your comment is very beautiful, and also very sad, and I, despite having both parents still alive, can certainly say that I understand what you say very well, even if I haven't had that kind of pain in my heart. 💕😍🥰😘👋
Very nice seeing Sky and Tomaso taking time with Carlo and making great memories. Wow, that walk left me exhausted😅 😅😅. Thanks for sharing and Have a peaceful Christmas ❤
Great to see Carlo, Skye and Tomaso having bonding time together in such remarkable settings with amazing food. Making memories. It seems like Nicki , you really earnt you "day on the sofa with a book". The hike would have been arduous enough even if had have been prepared for it. I just want to mention my amazing soap set arrived ( Merry Christmas to me) and the soaps smell amazing. Another job well done Nicki, 2023 has been a year of clever achievements for you, what with your book,"A boatful of Lemons" and this lovely collaboration set of soaps, Congratulations, Muffy from Oz.
AWW!....I have to go over to Patreon to hear why you were in such a mood last week Sunday. I am on YT, because I don't want to pay for viewing any content on American TV stations or streamer channels. So, I just want to say I hope you feel much better, now that your family is back home. Decorate, get FESTIVE! because tomorrow isn't promised, let alone next year Christmas. Wishing everyone a wonderful! holiday season and a HAPPY! new year.
Hi@kemikemi, I'm much older than Nicki and as I've grown older, the decorating and gifts part of Christmas has become much much less important (except for the grandchildren of course). It's the getting together, enjoying spending time together that is important for me now. I also lost my mother not long before Christmas some years ago and it makes Christmas nostalgic... I suspect that for Nicki, it's something resembling that. I don't have to know more...I also think that "moodiness" is quite hard to shake sometimes if I remember well .. What I enjoy most in December are "Fairy lights" illuminating the long dark nights of Winter ...those happy little lights are very joyful to me. Happy Christmas to you...to Nicki and the whole family. Can't wait for their great new adventure in Tuscany xxx
Greece looks marvelous and the love between the children and Carlo is palpable. Their video is much better than I could have done, but it really makes me appreciate Nicki's skills even more. 😍
I loved seeing Athens! And…What a spectacular view from the top of the mountain! I loved the piano music in the background while you were on this walk. Great, enjoyable video!
Was great to see Thomaso with Skye and his dad again enjoying a holiday together. Thank you for taking us with you all on your walks through Greece, I get to see the world through you. Nickie you should know by now that when you go for a walk with Fabrizio you should take snacks and water, he always walks you for miles. Have a lovely day.
Skye sounds so much like Nicki, it felt like she was there a little on the Athens trip! This is the first time I've seen Tomaso, and he seems like a sweetheart like his dad! The hike looked amazing! I do feel for dehydrated Nicki in her Timberlands though! I had a harrowing experience in my 20s hiking to the top of a butte where I watched the sunset with my friend. As we hiked back down the trail, we realized the forest gets dark very quickly, and we hadn't brought a flashlight! That was a very scary adventure back to the car, as we have big cats in the area, and heard noises in the woods around us, but Im going to guess they were deer. After that, I became the slow one with the heavy backpack, because I overprepare for every trip. 😅
Thanks for sharing your Athens vacation, Carlo, Skye and Tomasso. We are in the early stages of planning our Greece and Turkey trip. The video is a great help.
Wow!!! What a video…walking and walking…unfortunately my arthritis won’t allow me the walking long distances so thanks for taking me along. Loved seeing Greece, too. Thanks everyone. Happy Christmas. 🎄🇺🇸💚🤍❤
What a country that Greece is! Fell in love when I came from the USA! Fantastic food, generous and kind people, history and architecture to envy, sun and islands that will leave you speechless! Thank you and love your channel!
A great episode dear to my heart! Brought back so many memories of going to Athens as a child with my dad. Loved seeing all they experienced in Greece. Thank you!
It was delightful touring Greece with Carlo, Skye, and Tomaso. Beautiful, ancient ruins, marvelous Greek cuisine, and of course, your wonderful storytelling. Such fun to watch another episode of your lives in Italy and your many travels. Thanks for sharing your lives with us in RUclips land. Jenny USA
Really enjoyed our holiday trip with Carlo, Tommaso, and Sky's trip to Athens. It was lovely seeing Tommaso again and hearing him talk . His English is really good. Athens is definitely on my husband and I bucket list. I'm so glad you all had fun. Woo, what fantastic views on your hike . Bet you slept well that night . My husband and I so look forward to your videos on Sunday. Thank you for all the hard work and effort you put into making them . We really appreciate them.
Carlos what a wonderful tour of Athens you guys took. The sea of structures of the city just went on and on when you look down on it from way up high. I am sure the food was fabulous. The same as home but with a different twist. I love your outings. Please Please start your own channel. You have a different perspective on things. You so friendly and chatty with others. I think you would do well with it. You set your own program. Maybe start with doing a video once a month or more if you find content. Your editing will get better and better. Your very good with camera and drone already. TY for sharing your fab trip with the kids.
Great video. A real treat going to Athens with Carlo, Skye, and Tomaso, I could feel your pain during the long hike to the top of the mountain. The chairs you stripped have a beautiful design.
I quickly learned to not watch your documentaries on an empty stomach. Every single plate of food you enjoy leaves my mouth watering. Stunning views as always - such a pleasure to experience it with you. I don't know how you breezed through that hike uphill as if it was a stroll through a little wooded area. I so enjoy your videos and the warmth you exude towards your viewers welcoming them into your lives. Thank you so much.
Lovely video, completes my Sunday, its a wonderful tradition that Carlo does with his grown up kids to spend time with them on a trip…esp nice as it reminded me of the family trip we had in Greece last August, great choice Carlo! 😊
Athens was amazing, what a nice trip with the kids. That walk was something else especially as you were not prepared. You should feel proud of that accomplishment, you deserved to be on the couch the next day.
Another lovely vlog and it was such a treat to see glimpses of the trip to Athens, and those magnificent views captured by the drone were everything! What beautiful memories Carlo is building with his children. Thanks sharing your lives with us. And, Nicky is such a trooper. That hike though 😮
Thank you for sharing all your beautiful adventures. I always enjoy every minute of every video. Each one is pure joy and artistry. Peace and Love to all!
What a wonderful video keepsake of your trip to Greece. I love that the 3 of you take an annual trip and I feel very happy that you are sharing it with us. Greece looks beautiful and the food looks amazing. I love that you are in good relationship with one another. Some families don’t know how to get along, but you 3 show us a good example. Thank you. Nicki, I don’t think I would have made it the whole way. A helicopter would have had to come and airlift me off the mountain. Your hair looks beautiful. Love from Mare in Texas
Looks like you had a wonderful time in Greece with Skye and Tomasso!! I'm glad you visited! It would've been quite a surprise if I saw you walking down the streets of Athens! Yes the food has some similarities to Italian, it's amazing, you must come back with Nicki next time too, so much more to see and taste!!
So lovely to see what gracious travelers your family members are. Delightful video, beautiful story-telling, my very happy Sunday 'fix'. I thought I was going to miss the Christmas stuff. I didn't.
I returned to your RUclips channel after a pause from a busy life. I love the Tuscany addition and seeing more of Carlo ,Nicki and Tomas in the videos. Carlos's use of the drone is such a great feature of your videos. Your channel is just so charming and helpful in the sense that I want to return to Europe soon. 13:0513:05
NICKI!!! YOU have trained your family SOOOOO WELL to vlog!!! you must be proud of this video. thank you as I have never been to Greece and was very beautiful, like a little visit for me. It actually made me cry to see Carlo on a father and kids trip enjoying one another so much. What a bonus having Carla to complement the group. Really, the three of them, your family are a delight....better than any tour, ever! Merry Christmas to you all. 🥰💚🐈🐈⬛🛵🎄🎄🎄
I do enjoy ‘tagging along’ with Carlo, Tomasso and Skye and their sense of fun & adventure on these trips. I think Athens in colder months looks vibrant and Carlo’s ringing endorsement of the local grub ❤ is certainly making me think I should follow suit. Grazie 🎉
I've only been into this channel a short while, you always take us somewhere pretty neat and show us awesome views, I like the way your days unfold and that you do great walks and enjoy good food. Thanks for sharing 🙏
It's so beautiful to be able to go on an adventure like that. You just leave in the morning and you don't know where the day will take you. I love your sense of adventure!
It was fun seeing Carlo working on a little project again. I have seen him do many things, and it's quite incredible! He has skills that I wish that I had.
So sweet seeing Carlo with Skye and Tomaso in Athens. Such lovely children 👏🙂✨✨ Athens is not a patch on Positano though 😁🎶🥁Happy Christmas to you all 🎄🎄🎄
Lovely to see carlo with his children enjoying life.Think this was theire best trip was beautiful.skye is elegant graceful and stunning and tomanas is so loving with Carol.Thanks for sharing.
Dear Nicki, your videos are always a breath of fresh air❤ Especially during this crazy time of year where hardly anybody shows anything but glam and glitter😂 Thank you for making a difference😊 Greetings from Lithuania🤗
Awesome, guys! I'm happy you chose Athens. I love it. My daughter lives there with her family & travel there every year from NY. Thanks for the reminisce & the rest of your travels. Can't wait. Really enjoyed it!. 🎉
Thank you Carlo, and Sky and Tomaso, really enjoyed it, so good to be with you. Hope you all have a blessed Christmas and we thank you for all the filming through this year, love from Gloria & Dave. XX🎀🎄🎅♥️
Carlo and Nikki I wake up on Sunday morning so excited to see your video. I watch you before any NFL football. You are both so lovely and I look forward to it every week. It's like a warm hug. I love you both, and your kids are a wonderful because of you. Love from California Lisa and Mia(my fur baby)
Hi to all.loved watching you three in Athens.The food looked so appitizing.So brave of you Nicky to do all that waLking .Stunning views.Thank you all for sharing.You make my Sundays xxxxxx Love from Malta
Trip to Greece. Omg. I must go. Music was so authentic. Drone shots. Amazing the kids are natural at u tube!! Perfecto. N the Greek food. Dear lord. Ok must go !! N my bucket list along with Sicily. Christmas ♥️♥️🎄🎄🎄🎄🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🎄🙏🏻♥️. Blessings to your beautiful family!!🥰
What a lovely tradition Carlo of taking your kids on vacation….thanks for sharing it with us! And take hike up the mountain! Nikki you are so brave! Love your videos!
Fabulous video today. Loved travelling vicariously with Skye, Carlo and Tomaso (breath taking images) and then walking along the mountainside with you. You did the slogging and we got to enjoy the view. Thanks so much.
Well, the apartment in the hotel is mainly for sleeping in and maybe having breakfast before you go out for the day, so it doesn't need a good view or even big rooms. That was a great lunch with your friend, Carla. And lunch looked good after seeing so many impressive ruins. What did Tommaso think of the dessert you stopped to get later? Delicious looking seafood after the museum. Tommaso speaks to the animals. LOL. Stunning views. I was worried you all wouldn't have the energy to head back downhill.
Well I’m delighted you’re taking us on a tour of the sights & sounds of Christmas in your neck of the woods. 🎄🎅⭐️ are you headed to England for Christmas?
I enjoyed your walking adventure around the cliffs. That was quite a walk. You and Carlo have adventures every week! The Athens trip was very beautiful. The drone videos of the Acropolis were spectacular!
Thanks for the video of Athens. I have not been there since the 70's and you have awakened an interest to return. What a hike! Spectacular views. I am not surprised there was some fear. It looked precipitous for much of the way....glad you took a well deserved rest next day!
Buongiorno buonasera hello my loves mamma mia the trip to Athens with Carlo Skye and Tommaso just fabulous the ruins food with the lovely Carla hello everywhere I love the vibe with the yearly family vacations😍👌Nicki I felt for you climbing to the top of Italy Carlo next time we venture out you’re carrying the water🤩👌A chilled video the chairs prep I too have 2 chairs ready to paint chairs are my quiet passion grazie mille have a fabulous week my loves Alla prossima 💖💖😘😘👌👌🌟
This is a perfect video.. Beautifully presented, filmed and edited. It is a joy to share in your family life. Thank you so much. Wishing you all good health and happiness. Sam
This video was packed with exciting footage. Athens was gorgeous, thank you for sharing. What a precious tradition you have Carlo with Tomasso and Skye. That hike was amazing. You are so fortunate to be able to walk like that. I have to admit that I am going to miss these beautiful scenic videos of Positano and it’s surroundings when you go to Tuscany. Ciao until next Sunday
You walked like mountain goats to heaven..beautiful views..😊❤loved ATHENS..SPENT WHOLE SUMMER there in 1973 in college ..studying and exploring..bellismo..ty for sharing all..❤❤❤❤😊 Great video.. Miss ITALY AND GREECE.. GREAT FOOD..😊❤😊❤
We don't go thru all of the xmas nonsense either. We stopped a few years ago and don't miss it one bit. We know many people who feel as we do that it's become the shopping holiday, there is definitely something missing so we opted out. We use this holiday to donate to multiple world food programs and animal sanctuaries. Ho! Ho! Ho! Happy New Year!
What a hike, dog walk, it's lovely to see you can make a plan and change it enhance it, enjoy it and wonder about it...still continuing just because you can. Lovely walk with Holly and Indy in tow, good girl Holly! Carlos, Skye and Tomasso, awesome father, children trip, another beautiful one just making memories. Good for all of you.
So happy for you to visit my country.I live in Athens. I hope you ate souvlaki,spanakopita and other special food.Of course Parthenon is one of the most beautiful monuments in the world.Thank you Carlo.
Carlo, you think your boarding was slow in Greece? In October I was supposed to go to Athens, spend 6 hours there, then leave on a cruise ship. Our plane left so late that we never saw Athens, missed our boat and had to drive 6 hours to catch up to it in Olympia! 😒 I appreciated seeing Athens through your eyes! Well done!
@@NickiPositano Thanks for your response, Carlo! You're such a sweetie! 💗Actually, the trip got worse: they lost our luggage & I didn't get mine until 8 days after we got home! But we enjoyed Greece, Croatia & Italy (LOVE Italy).
Amazing footage going on holiday with Carlo, Thomaso & Sky. Stunning photography by Carlo & others? Fascinating information about the areas & mouth watering food. A wonderful hols for us all. Nicki & Carlo’s walk….no track up that mountain with the beautiful scenic photography, was exhausting I know but what an accomplishment. Thank you all for sharing your life, adventures & more. ❤️🤗❤️

You've put it so much more elegantly than I ever could. This blog is everything to me. Informative, funny, gastronomical, warm, I just love it!

You can tell that Tommaso, Carlo and Skye really enjoy each others company. Looked like a fun and busy vacation. 💗
Tomaso has become very brave using his English! Well done.
Seeing Carlo with his kids is so sweet and special! 😊 love to see a different side of Athena.
So nice to see dad, son and daughter on holiday together. What a lovely family tradition. 👍
So nice to see Tomaso ( sorry if I spelled it wrong) and please tell him he did a great job in English! Lovely, of course, to have Skye narrate and see them both spending special time with Carlo. Enjoyed it all

And I thought Thomaso's voice was very much like Papa Carlos..Both are,very good,looking ,nice ,young people,
It sounds like a west country British accent .
I’m in love with your family! Both your son and daughter are so engaging. I so enjoy your hikes and daily lives
@@7ofthemI assume she's picked up the accent from the area she went to school
Great shots of Greece! Please let Sky know her voice over narration is soothing to the ear :0). It was great to see Thomaso again. :0) Thank you for sharing this father and his kids vlog! Your shots great as always. Thank you and happy Sunday!
Wonderful episode, so much to see! Funny that my favourite part was the geese talking to Tomasso! 😄 Athens looks amazing!!!

The hike looked amazing! I do feel for dehydrated Nicki in her Timberlands though! I had a harrowing experience in my 20s hiking to the top of a butte where I watched the sunset with my friend. As we hiked back down the trail, we realized the forest gets dark very quickly, and we hadn't brought a flashlight! That was a very scary adventure back to the car, as we have big cats in the area, and heard noises in the woods around us, but Im going to guess they were deer. After that, I became the slow one with the heavy backpack, because I overprepare for every trip. 😅
Thanks for sharing your Athens vacation, Carlo, Skye and Tomasso. We are in the early stages of planning our Greece and Turkey trip. The video is a great help.
We are happy to see all of u together. . Big Italian family.... Lots of Love and blessings from India
Athens looked beautiful. Nice family getaway. Tomaso’s English has really improved. I can’t believe you did that huge walk. Wow.
Wow!!! What a video…walking and walking…unfortunately my arthritis won’t allow me the walking long distances so thanks for taking me along. Loved seeing Greece, too. Thanks everyone. Happy Christmas. 🎄🇺🇸💚🤍❤
What a country that Greece is! Fell in love when I came from the USA! Fantastic food, generous and kind people, history and architecture to envy, sun and islands that will leave you speechless! Thank you and love your channel!
A great episode dear to my heart! Brought back so many memories of going to Athens as a child with my dad. Loved seeing all they experienced in Greece. Thank you!
That is a crazy walk especially with no water or snacks. Great narration on the video and clips from Athens
Athens looks so lovely…the views on your walk were amazing 😊
Thanks Carlo and Nicky and I'm so looking forward to the Tuscan house. The fun part is furnishing it, the chairs look beautiful.❤
I thought I was going to die, and I wasnt even there 😉 Thank you to Carlo, Skye, and Tomaso for taking us along.❤
The most genuine, wholesome, normal and real channel. It feels like a breath of fresh air watching. Thank you to each of you! ❤❤❤
Grazie!😘💕
Ciao Carlo!You did a great job with the Athens video!It was such fun meeting & spending time with you,Skye and Tomasso! ❤
Enjoyable to watch your travels and hikes as always! Have a wonderful week!
❤Beautiful scenery! When I dry pine cones it takes about a year for the sap to dry, then I can use them in garlands/wreaths. Love your videos.😊😊
It was delightful touring Greece with Carlo, Skye, and Tomaso. Beautiful, ancient ruins, marvelous Greek cuisine, and of course, your wonderful storytelling. Such fun to watch another episode of your lives in Italy and your many travels. Thanks for sharing your lives with us in RUclips land. Jenny USA
Love the trip to Greece! The food! The music! The crystal clear water along the coast! Fabulous father/kids vaca. More please.
Really enjoyed our holiday trip with Carlo, Tommaso, and Sky's trip to Athens. It was lovely seeing Tommaso again and hearing him talk . His English is really good. Athens is definitely on my husband and I bucket list. I'm so glad you all had fun. Woo, what fantastic views on your hike . Bet you slept well that night . My husband and I so look forward to your videos on Sunday. Thank you for all the hard work and effort you put into making them . We really appreciate them.
Tomaso’s English is getting so good!! Well done, Tomaso!!!
Carlos what a wonderful tour of Athens you guys took. The sea of structures of the city just went on and on when you look down on it from way up high. I am sure the food was fabulous. The same as home but with a different twist. I love your outings. Please Please start your own channel. You have a different perspective on things. You so friendly and chatty with others. I think you would do well with it. You set your own program. Maybe start with doing a video once a month or more if you find content. Your editing will get better and better. Your very good with camera and drone already. TY for sharing your fab trip with the kids.
Great video. A real treat going to Athens with Carlo, Skye, and Tomaso, I could feel your pain during the long hike to the top of the mountain. The chairs you stripped have a beautiful design.
I quickly learned to not watch your documentaries on an empty stomach. Every single plate of food you enjoy leaves my mouth watering. Stunning views as always - such a pleasure to experience it with you. I don't know how you breezed through that hike uphill as if it was a stroll through a little wooded area. I so enjoy your videos and the warmth you exude towards your viewers welcoming them into your lives. Thank you so much.
Lovely video, completes my Sunday, its a wonderful tradition that Carlo does with his grown up kids to spend time with them on a trip…esp nice as it reminded me of the family trip we had in Greece last August, great choice Carlo! 😊
Loved the hike views. Thank you for my Sundaytreat.
Athens was amazing, what a nice trip with the kids. That walk was something else especially as you were not prepared. You should feel proud of that accomplishment, you deserved to be on the couch the next day.
Another lovely vlog and it was such a treat to see glimpses of the trip to Athens, and those magnificent views captured by the drone were everything!
What beautiful memories Carlo is building with his children. Thanks sharing your lives with us. And, Nicky is such a trooper. That hike though 😮
Thank you for sharing all your beautiful adventures. I always enjoy every minute
of every video. Each one is pure joy and artistry. Peace and Love to all!
What a wonderful video keepsake of your trip to Greece. I love that the 3 of you take an annual trip and I feel very happy that you are sharing it with us. Greece looks beautiful and the food looks amazing. I love that you are in good relationship with one another. Some families don’t know how to get along, but you 3 show us a good example. Thank you.
Nicki, I don’t think I would have made it the whole way. A helicopter would have had to come and airlift me off the mountain. Your hair looks beautiful. Love from Mare in Texas
Looks like you had a wonderful time in Greece with Skye and Tomasso!! I'm glad you visited! It would've been quite a surprise if I saw you walking down the streets of Athens! Yes the food has some similarities to Italian, it's amazing, you must come back with Nicki next time too, so much more to see and taste!!
So lovely to see what gracious travelers your family members are. Delightful video, beautiful story-telling, my very happy Sunday 'fix'. I thought I was going to miss the Christmas stuff. I didn't.
I returned to your RUclips channel after a pause from a busy life. I love the Tuscany addition and seeing more of Carlo ,Nicki and Tomas in the videos. Carlos's use of the drone is such a great feature of your videos. Your channel is just so charming and helpful in the sense that I want to return to Europe soon. 13:05 13:05
NICKI!!! YOU have trained your family SOOOOO WELL to vlog!!! you must be proud of this video. thank you as I have never been to Greece and was very beautiful, like a little visit for me. It actually made me cry to see Carlo on a father and kids trip enjoying one another so much. What a bonus having Carla to complement the group. Really, the three of them, your family are a delight....better than any tour, ever! Merry Christmas to you all. 🥰💚🐈🐈⬛🛵🎄🎄🎄
The English is improving for the men in the family.
I LOVE this entire video. Thanks guys.
I do enjoy ‘tagging along’ with Carlo, Tomasso and Skye and their sense of fun & adventure on these trips. I think Athens in colder months looks vibrant and Carlo’s ringing endorsement of the local grub ❤ is certainly making me think I should follow suit. Grazie 🎉
GOOD MORNING - interesting adventure, with lots of food and hiking. Beautiful areas, not sure if I could do all that climbing.
I've only been into this channel a short while, you always take us somewhere pretty neat and show us awesome views, I like the way your days unfold and that you do great walks and enjoy good food. Thanks for sharing 🙏
It's so beautiful to be able to go on an adventure like that. You just leave in the morning and you don't know where the day will take you.
I love your sense of adventure!
That walk was brilliant, but exhausting! Hiking boots and good socks are a must, when are embarking on such a 'walk'. Well done!
It was fun seeing Carlo working on a little project again. I have seen him do many things, and it's quite incredible! He has skills that I wish that I had.
So sweet seeing Carlo with Skye and Tomaso in Athens. Such lovely children 👏🙂✨✨ Athens is not a patch on Positano though 😁🎶🥁Happy Christmas to you all 🎄🎄🎄
Lovely to see carlo with his children enjoying life.Think this was theire best trip was beautiful.skye is elegant graceful and stunning and tomanas is so loving with Carol.Thanks for sharing.
Dear Nicki, your videos are always a breath of fresh air❤ Especially during this crazy time of year where hardly anybody shows anything but glam and glitter😂 Thank you for making a difference😊 Greetings from Lithuania🤗
Drone views & the views from the water are always appreciated.
What a walk you did, Carlo is so strong In many ways. The chairs look 👍👍
So nice to trip off to Athens. Thank S+T😊
Awesome, guys! I'm happy you chose Athens. I love it. My daughter lives there with her family & travel there every year from NY. Thanks for the reminisce & the rest of your travels. Can't wait. Really enjoyed it!. 🎉
Thank you Carlo, and Sky and Tomaso, really enjoyed it, so good to be with you. Hope you all have a blessed Christmas and we thank you for all the filming through this year, love from Gloria & Dave. XX🎀🎄🎅♥️

Absolutely b❤e❤a❤u❤t❤i❤f❤u❤l !!! Thank you so much all of you !!! 🥰
Fabulous video today. Loved travelling vicariously with Skye, Carlo and Tomaso (breath taking images) and then walking along the mountainside with you. You did the slogging and we got to enjoy the view. Thanks so much.
Well, the apartment in the hotel is mainly for sleeping in and maybe having breakfast before you go out for the day, so it doesn't need a good view or even big rooms. That was a great lunch with your friend, Carla. And lunch looked good after seeing so many impressive ruins. What did Tommaso think of the dessert you stopped to get later? Delicious looking seafood after the museum. Tommaso speaks to the animals. LOL. Stunning views. I was worried you all wouldn't have the energy to head back downhill.
Well I’m delighted you’re taking us on a tour of the sights & sounds of Christmas in your neck of the woods. 🎄🎅⭐️ are you headed to England for Christmas?
Hi Carlo here, this time we're staying in Positano for Christmas!💕😘👋
@@NickiPositano Nice. Enjoy the season 🎄🎅⭐️
I enjoyed your walking adventure around the cliffs. That was quite a walk. You and Carlo have adventures every week! The Athens trip was very beautiful. The drone videos of the Acropolis were spectacular!
Ευχαριστω που ηρθατε στην πανεμορφη χωρα μου,κανατε ενα ωραιο βιντεο σας περιμενουμε το καλοκαιρι στα νησια μας.
Lovely just relaxing listening to Skye 😮🤔👋👋telling about there time 🕰️ in Greece 🎄👋♥️🎄👋♥️
I have said it before that this is my favorite RUclips channel. Love you all! Look forward to Sundays vlog.
Thanks for the video of Athens. I have not been there since the 70's and you have awakened an interest to return. What a hike! Spectacular views. I am not surprised there was some fear. It looked precipitous for much of the way....glad you took a well deserved rest next day!

This is a perfect video.. Beautifully presented, filmed and edited. It is a joy to share in your family life. Thank you so much. Wishing you all good health and happiness. Sam
This video was packed with exciting footage. Athens was gorgeous, thank you for sharing. What a precious tradition you have Carlo with Tomasso and Skye. That hike was amazing. You are so fortunate to be able to walk like that. I have to admit that I am going to miss these beautiful scenic videos of Positano and it’s surroundings when you go to Tuscany. Ciao until next Sunday
You walked like mountain goats to heaven..beautiful views..😊❤loved ATHENS..SPENT WHOLE SUMMER there in 1973 in college ..studying and exploring..bellismo..ty for sharing all..❤❤❤❤😊
Great video..
Miss ITALY AND GREECE..
GREAT FOOD..😊❤😊❤
We don't go thru all of the xmas nonsense either. We stopped a few years ago and don't miss it one bit. We know many people who feel as we do that it's become the shopping holiday, there is definitely something missing so we opted out. We use this holiday to donate to multiple world food programs and animal sanctuaries. Ho! Ho! Ho! Happy New Year!
another beautiful video where i was immersed in the wonderful life of you and your children. i thank you so much for sharing all the beauty you see.
What a hike, dog walk, it's lovely to see you can make a plan and change it enhance it, enjoy it and wonder about it...still continuing just because you can. Lovely walk with Holly and Indy in tow, good girl Holly!
Carlos, Skye and Tomasso, awesome father, children trip, another beautiful one just making memories. Good for all of you.
So happy for you to visit my country.I live in Athens. I hope you ate souvlaki,spanakopita and other special food.Of course Parthenon is one of the most beautiful monuments in the world.Thank you Carlo.
❤️❤️❤️
There is nothing else on RUclips that I enjoyed watching more. Thank you.
Carlo, you think your boarding was slow in Greece? In October I was supposed to go to Athens, spend 6 hours there, then leave on a cruise ship. Our plane left so late that we never saw Athens, missed our boat and had to drive 6 hours to catch up to it in Olympia! 😒 I appreciated seeing Athens through your eyes! Well done!
Hi Carlo here, it definitely went much worse for you,😁😨 I hope the rest of the trip was nice!💕😘👋
@@NickiPositano Thanks for your response, Carlo! You're such a sweetie! 💗Actually, the trip got worse: they lost our luggage & I didn't get mine until 8 days after we got home! But we enjoyed Greece, Croatia & Italy (LOVE Italy).
Beautiful video Nikki.. Thanks again
Dear Nicki,Carlo,Skye,Tomasso!
Next time ,we are waiting you İstanbul,Turkey
Amazing footage going on holiday with Carlo, Thomaso & Sky. Stunning photography by Carlo & others? Fascinating information about the areas & mouth watering food.
A wonderful hols for us all.
Nicki & Carlo’s walk….no track up that mountain with the beautiful scenic photography, was exhausting I know but what an accomplishment.
Thank you all for sharing your life, adventures & more. ❤️🤗❤️
So many wonderful adventures!!! So many beautiful scenes to enjoy!!!
So sweet how you were able to produce a u / tube video off the back of thier adventures ... so sweet !
I was worried for Holly on that long hike. She is not a young dog! I was exhausted " walking with you!!" Gorgeous views
